A Welcome to Country was given by Aunty Barbara Simms while a smoking was performed by Darren Compton (Muggera). MCs for the night were Bo de la Cruz and Dean Widders. The Gamay Dancers performed before special guest, Cathy Freeman, gave an emotional, in-depth sit-down interview about her life and sporting career with Bo de La Cruz.
The National Sportsperson of the Year Award was taken out by boxer, Callum Peters. The Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Tony Mundine, who passed away earlier this year. More than a dozen other awards were given out over the course of the night.
